Home-based eye-movement training after right-side stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a home-based treatment using eye-movement exercises to help people recover from a right-sided stroke affecting neglect (difficulty noticing the left side of space). A therapist will visit your home to teach and monitor the treatment over several months.
